I'm just about to start work on a portfolio site for a friend who has a huge amount of video content which he wants to showcase. He definitely wants the video content to be viewable on iOS and Android as well as the web, can anyone advise the best way to go about this? I've had a look at products like FlowPlayer and JW Player but am unsure if these are the best way to go or not. His videos are currently a mixture of mp4 and quicktime movies. Thanks for any help!

Hi Franko,

I use flash with a html5 fallback on my websites.

This mean the videos work on iOS, Android and the web.

You'll need to encode each video into 3 or 4 different formats to cover the bases.
